Under the contract, Siemens will build the plant featuring four co-generation units with each comprising an H class gas turbine and a waste-heat recovery steam generator.
Each unit will also have a steam turbine, associated mechanical and electrical systems and the instrumentation and control system.
The deal also includes a long-term maintenance and services contract.
After completion, the plant will have the capacity to produce about 1,480 tonnes per hour of steam for the Petronas Pengerang integrated complex (PIC) development in Pengerang, Southern Johor, Malaysia.
The plant’s first co-generation unit is anticipated to start operations by mid-2017.
The first unit will supply power to the National Grid while the rest of the co-generation units will supply energy to PIC’s facilities.
Petronas infrastructure & utilities vice president Pramod Kumar Karunakaran said the PCP will allow the company to supply reliable steam and power to petrochemicals plant and other facilities in PIC as well as to the Malaysian Grid in an environmentally-friendly manner.
